An old video of Kim Kardashian has gone viral again after reports of a cocaine seizure linked to a consignment of SKIMS products.
In the resurfaced clip, Kardashian is heard joking, “I love ecstasy.” The video went viral online as users linked it to recent news related to an ongoing drug trafficking case.
It is worth mentioning that there is no evidence that Kardashian or her company SKIMS were involved in any criminal activity.
This case involves a UK investigation where border officers found approximately 90 kilograms of cocaine hidden in a truck carrying legitimate SKIMS products from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom. The truck was stopped at the port of Harwich in Essex.
Authorities said the consignment of clothing was genuine and was used as a cover to smuggle the drugs inside a hidden compartment.
The driver, Jakob Jan Konkel, later pleaded guilty to his role in the operation and received a prison sentence of more than 13 years.
Investigators confirmed that SKIMS, Kardashian, and the companies involved in shipping and importing were not accused of wrongdoing.
SKIMS also responded to the reports, saying it had no knowledge of any illegal activity related to the shipment. The company said it had nothing to do with the driver or the smuggling operation.
Law enforcement officials have reiterated that the investigation is focused only on those responsible for drug trafficking.
Despite this, the resurfaced video has sparked online speculation and drawn renewed attention to the case.
